Before using the appliance

Rating plate

• This is usually situated on the front frame of

the appliance and can be seen upon opening

either the main or top oven door.

Alternatively the rating plate may also be

found on the back or top of some models

(where applicable).

• The appliance must be protected by a

suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.

• The rating of the appliance is given on the

rating plate.

• Do not remove the rating plate from the

appliance as this may invalidate the

guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft

cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the

furniture before use.

• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill

for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum

temperature, to burn off any residue from

their surfaces. Accessible parts may become

hotter than in normal use. Children should be

kept away. During this period an odour may

be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a

window for ventilation.

The cooling fan for the controls

• The cooling fan comes on immediately when

the grill/top oven is switched on and after a

short time when the main oven is in use. It

may run on after the controls are switched

off until the appliance has cooled.

• During the initial period the cooling fan may

turn on and off, this is quite normal.

WARNING!

Condensation and steam

• When food is heated it produces steam

similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow

some of this steam to escape. However,

always stand back from the appliance when

opening the door(s) to allow any build up of

steam or heat to release.

• If the steam comes into contact with a cool

surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g.

a trim, it will condense and produce water

droplets. This is quite normal and is not

caused by a fault on the appliance.

• To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe

away condensation and foodstuff from

surfaces.

• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of

the appliance should be securely fixed to the

wall.

Cookware

• Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x

30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the

circulation of heat and may affect

performance.

The hob

The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit

different types of cooking.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use

pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the

burner size used.

The largest pan, which you should use on any

burner, is 230mm (9") and the smallest pan

should not measure less than 100mm (4").

WARNING!

Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted

before using the hob.

To light the hob burners

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system

Push in and turn the

control knob to the

highest setting.

Press the ignition

button immediately.

WARNING!

When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit

before you leave the appliance.

When turning off a burner, ensure the flame

has gone out before leaving the appliance.

Things to note

If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob

burner turn all the hob controls off and make

sure the burner parts have been replaced

correctly.

Hints and tips

• Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

• Do not use pans with very heavy handles,

which cause the pan to tip.

WARNING!

Place pans on the centre of the burners.

Position pans so the handles cannot be

accidentally knocked or overhang the

appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan

supports. Do not slide them across the hob

.

• Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob

or removable parts. The spillage should be

wiped up and the parts washed and carefully

dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and

burner parts are cool enough to touch.

• A flat-based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round Wok with a

collar support, the collar must be the open

wirework type otherwise the performance of

the burner will be affected.

WARNING!

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when

reaching across the hob.

WARNING!

Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not

cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan

unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it

where it is and turn off all controls. Place a

damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to

smother the flames. Never put water on the

fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT!

Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to

touch the controls as damage may occur.

10

The grill

CAUTION!

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is

in use. Young children should be kept away.

IMPORTANT!

When you first operate the grill you may hear

some sounds as the burner heats up, this is

quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.

Hints and tips

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in

the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of

air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.

• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position

to allow for different thicknesses of food.

• Food should be thoroughly dried before

grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean

meats and fish lightly with a little oil or

melted butter to keep them moist during

cooking.

• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the

grid when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread use the shelf in position

1 with the grid in the high position.

• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few

minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.

Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as

necessary during cooking.

• The food should be turned over during

cooking as required.

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It

is designed for cooking smaller quantities of

food. Place single dishes on the centre of the

shelf

The top oven is also ideal for use as warming

compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.

Use the top oven when you want to warm

plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven

temperature control.

Preheating

When you need to preheat the oven, we

recommend you do so for 20 minutes.

For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.

bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best

results are achieved if the oven is preheated

first. For best results when cooking frozen or

cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the

oven first.

Using the top oven

Fully open the door before lighting the top oven.

Push in the control

knob and turn it to gas

mark 1

Press the ignition

button immediately.

When the burner has lit release the button.

There will only be small flames at first, adjust

the setting as required

IMPORTANT!

Do not close the door until the burner is showing large flames.

To turn the top oven off

Turn the control knob to the off position. This is

shown by a 0.

14

Things to note

• The cooling fan for the controls may

operate after a time.

WARNING!

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly

on the oven base as it becomes very hot and

damage will occur.

To fit the top oven shelf

Only use the shelf with the large solid metal

plate at the rear of the shelf in the top oven.

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods

uppermost on the frame and the forms towards

the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the

anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be

affected.

Hints and tips

• Arrange the shelves in the required

positions before switching the oven on.

Shelf positions are counted from the top

downwards.

• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the

shelf and there is sufficient room around

the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum

circulation.

• Do not push dishes too far back as food

will burn if it overhangs the burner flame

• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking

tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto

the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray

and dishes used affect base browning.

Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick

utensils increase base browning. Shiny

aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the

heat away and give less base browning.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the

oven base as it interferes with the oven air

circulation and can lead to base burning;

use the lower shelf position.

• For economy leave the door open for the

shortest possible time, particularly when

placing food into a pre-heated oven.

WARNING!

Do not place cookware and cooking pots

with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven

door as damage to the glass may occur.

15

The main oven

Heat zones

There are zones of heat within the oven. The

temperature in the middle is the gas mark you

have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly

hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The

base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can

make use of these heat zones when you are

cooking foods requiring different temperatures

all at the same time.

If you are cooking more than one tray of similar

items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the

trays during cooking or you can remove the top

tray when the food is cooked and move the

lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Preheating

When you need to preheat the oven, we

recommend you do so for 20 minutes.

For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.

bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best

results are achieved if the oven is preheated

first. For best results when cooking frozen or

cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the

oven first.

To fit the main oven shelves

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods

uppermost on the frame and the forms towards

the back of the oven.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you

until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at

the front so that the stops clear the side

supports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.

Using the main oven

Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.

Push in the control

knob and turn it to gas

mark 9.

When the burner has

lit release the

control knob.

There will only be

small flames at first.

When the burner is

showing large flames,

adjust the setting as

required.

IMPORTANT!

Do not close the door

until the burner is

showing large flames.

16

To turn the main oven off

Turn the control knob to the off position. This is

shown by a 0.

Things to note

• The oven light will illuminate.

• If there is an electrical power failure you cannot

use the main oven.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

Hints and tips

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven on. Shelf positions

are numbered from the top downwards.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf

and there is sufficient room around the baking

tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

• Do not push dishes too far back as food will

burn if it overhangs the burner flame.

• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base

and to help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray and

dishes used affect base browning.

Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils

increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or

polished steel trays reflect the heat away and

give less base browning.

• When cooking more than one dish in the oven,

place dishes centrally on different shelves

rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,

this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the

best cooking results.

• If you are cooking more than one tray of similar

items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the

trays during cooking or you can remove the top

tray when the food is cooked and move the

lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air

circulation and can lead to base burning; use

the lower shelf position.

WARNING!

Do not place cookware and cooking pots

with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven

door as damage to the glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but

slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of

the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender

cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

20

Slow cook

The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in

the oven. It is particularly useful when you are

cooking soups, stews and casseroles because

the long slow cooking will make cheaper,

tougher cuts of meat more tender.

Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not

suitable for slow cooking because the

temperature is too low. Cover all food during

cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can

uncover food for the last half hour if it is

normally served golden brown.

Using slow cook

You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook

setting. This makes sure that the temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.

Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.
